QUANTITY OF MATERIALS
An unqualified guarantee is contained on your order blank that we will furnish material to entirely complete your home in accordance with the following general specifications and with the particular specifications contained on the individual page of photograph and plans.
BASEMENT FRAMES AND SASH
Are not included in your order unless illustration shows siding or shingles to the grade lines, because these are used when the foundation is laid. We plan to have your material on the ground as soon as the foundation is finished and has had sufficient time to set. If we were to furnish basement frames and sash, it would be necessary either to ship them by express, creating additional expense, or it would be necessary to delay the foundation work until the lumber arrived. We cannot see where enough benefit is derived to make up for this additional expense and delay. If, however, you decide to have us furnish them, we will ship them according to your instructions.
FOUNDATION WALL PLATE OR BOND TIMBER
2 in. × 6 in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides and cut to fit, furnished to lay on top of the foundation wall to insure an even bearing for the first floor joists.
GIRDER
Size 6 in. × 6 in. or 6 in. × 8 in., (as listed under each design) depending upon the size house. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides and cut to fit. It is a well-known fact that a built-up timber is stronger than a solid timber, and is much easier to handle. We, therefore, furnish material cut to proper length to make a built-up timber.
